My email is bouncing, and I think this may be of general interest, so
I'll post.

Thanks to Art Werschulz, Gerald Edgar, Dan Bernstein, and dgc at UCLA,
who pointed me to the AMSTeX Fraktur fonts.  My installation already
had them, so I was able to proceed.

Thanks to Anders Thulin who pointed out the Hershey and Code Works
fonts.

To Kai-Mikael J. (and anyone else who might have AMSTeX and want to use
the Fraktur fonts), let me pass on what I've learned from the kind
folks named above.  In ordinary TeX and LaTeX (I don't know about
AMSTeX), typing

	\font\teneuf=eufm10
	\font\seveneuf=eufm7
	\font\fiveeuf=eufm5

gets you the ten-point, seven-point and five-point Fraktur fonts,
respectively.  The control sequences "\teneuf", etc. can then be used
just as you would "\rm", "\it", etc.
